Proven Swamp-Root
Aids Weak Kidneys.
The symptoms of kidney and blad
der troubles are often very distress
ing and leave the system in a run
down condition. The kidneys seem to
suffer most, as almost every victim
complains of lame back and urinary j
troubles which should not be neglect
ed, as these danger signals often
lead to dangerous kidney troubles.
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root which
soon heals and strengthens the kid
neys is a splendid kidney, liver and
bladder remedy, and. being an herbal
compound, lias a gentle healing ef
fect on the kidneys, which is almost
immediately noticed in most cases by
those who use it.
A trial will convince anyone who
may be in need of it. Better get a
bottle from your nearest drug store,
and start treatment at once.
However, if you wish first to test
this great preparation send ten cents
to Dr. Kilmer & Co.. Binghaniton, N.
Y., for a sample bottle. When writing
lie sure and mention the Ilarrisburg
Daily Telegraph.
GUSSIF lir
BEFORE YOU EH
IIJPST
Wash poison from system each
morning and feel fresh
as a daisy.
Every day you clean the house you
live Lt lo get rid of the dust and
dirt which collected through tho pre
vious day. Your body, the house
your soul lives in, also becomes filled
up e:ch twenty-four hours with all
manner of filth and poison. If only
every man and woman could realize
the wonds r s of drinking phosphated
hot water, what a gratifying change
would take place.
Instead of the thousands of sickly,
anaemic-looking men, women and
glrla with pasty or muddy complex
ions; instead of the multitudes of
"nerve wrecks," rundowns," "brain
fags" aiAl pessimists wo should see a
virile, optimistic throng of rosy
cheeked people everywhere.
Everyone, whether sick or well,
should drink each morning before
breakfast, a glass of real hot water
with a teaapoonful of limestone phos
phate in it to wash from the stomach,
liver,- kidnevs and ten yards of bowels
the previous duy's Indigestible waste,
tour fermentations and poisons, thus
cleansing, sweetening und freshening
the 6ntlro alimentary canal before
putting moru food tuto the stomach,
Those subject to sick headache,
biliousness, pasty breath, rheumatism,
colds; and particularly those who
have h pallid, sallow complexion and
who are constipated very often, are
urged to obtain a quarter pound of
limestone phosphate at the drugstore
which will cost but a trifle but is suf
ficient to demonstrate the quick and
remarkable change in both health and
appearance awaiting those who prac
tice internal sanitation, We must
remember that inside cleanliness is
mora important than eutslde, because
the skin does not absorb impurities
to contaminate tlvs bleod, while the
pares in the thirty feet of bowels do.
WEDNESDAY EVENING,
CALENDAR BILL
FOR DISCUSSION
OF PEACE TALK
Cummins Resolution to Pro-|
vide Exclusive Consideration j
i of Address Is Deferred
Washingon, D. C., Jan. 24.—Action
on Senator Cummins' resolution to
provide for exclusive consideration of
President Wilson's peace address un
til all Senators have expressed their |
views, was deferred to-day and it was
sent to the calendar after it had been
debuted two hours.
Senator Cummins sought to obtain
unanimous consent for the resolution
to go over without prejudice, to come
up automatically again to-morrow,
but Chairman Stone of the Foreign
Relations Committee objected. Sen
ator Cummins pointed out that with
the resolution on the calendar it is
possible for him to move to take it
up to-morrow or any other day after
the Senate routine morning business
is concluded.
Senator Stone wanted to refer the
resolution to the Foreign Relations
Committee but the presiding officer
finally ordered it to the calendar.
In this situation, it will require an
affirmative vote of the Senate to get
the resolution up again.
London. Jan. 24. Britain wants
r.o "peace without victory." The war
will go on—through the coming cam
paign at least—and, if that fails to
bring victory, then on and on.
That is Britain's comment on Presi
dent Wilson's peace speech. Germany
must need peace much more than Bri
tain does if that speech is to affect
the length of the war.
People are prepared to follow a
very considerable distance further be
for agreeing to a "peace without vic
tory." Much water will run under the
bridge before that day comes.
Comment oil Speech
The President's remarks on Poland,
and a seaport for Russia, for instance,
are extremely satisfactory here. Ills
remarks on the freedom of the seas,
vague as they are, and his failure as
in his note of December to draw any
distinction between the belligerents,
are deeply resented.

tion on the southern side of the
estuary.
This action is the only important
one that has occurred m the Ru
manian campaign, so far as shown by
the Berlin report. Extreme cold
weather is interfering with opera
tions in the Moldavian mountain re
gion and there have been only skirm
ishes and artillery engagements along
that front.
Attention again Is turned to the
Riga region on the northern end of I
the Russian front, where a renewal
of the lighting is reported by Berlin.
This was forecast by yesterday's an
nouncement of the resumption of in
tense artillery fire in that region. The
Berlin account of the progress of the
fighting simply declares that it took
a course favorable to the Germans.

N. Y. HEARINGS

SUDDENLY STOP
At Meeting in Washington
House Committee Will Decide
When to Besume
New York, Jan. 24. The House
rules committee in executive session
to-day decided to adjourn its New
York hearing on the "leak" investiga
tion for an indefinite period. Mem
bers of the committee, who planned to
return to Washington this afternoon
will hold a meeting in Washington
some time later in the week to decide
when they shall resume the hearings
here.
Announcement of this plan came
while the committee still was In ses
sion with representatives of the New
York Stock Exchange trying to agree
on a new request for submission of
specific records to the committee.
Mr. Noble appeared to Inform the
committee of the adoption last night
of the resolution of the board request
ing the 600 or so brokerage houses to
turn over the desired data to the chair
man of the clearing house committee
for submission to the yules commit
tee's experts, who will .examine them
to learn the identity of the operators
who were dealing heavily on the short
side of the stock market prior to the
publlcation of the peace note.
Responses Soon
Sherman L. Whipple, the commit
tee's counsel, wanted to know at the
outset how soon the first responses
might be expected. Mr. Noble said
copies of the resolution had been sent
the members this forenoon and that j
some replies probably could be ex
pected by to-morrow or tlio day
after.
The attorney then resumed his ex- j
animation of Noble on stock market
methods, particularly about "short"
sales. Before beginning his testimony
Noble obtained permission to have his
counsel and H. K. Pomeroy, chairman
of the stock list committee, at his
side.
POWELL TAKEJT
ALL RESPONSIBILITY
[Continued From First Page]
as the traveling, incidental and mis
cellaneous expense fund for the Gov
ernor and Executive Mansion, my i
recollection is that about the middle i
of May, 1915, about the time of the
first accounting requisition upon this
fund, I called to the attention of the 1
Governor by letter the fact that the i
fund was to be expended at the dis
cretion of the Governor and that it
was not necessary for it to be vouched
or audited by the fiscal officers of the
Commonwealth at all. but that if the '
Governor desired that it be vouched
and audited as other accounts were
vouched, I must insist that it include
vouchers for the items for which the
appropriation was made including the j
miscellaneous expenses incurred in
the conduct and management of the I
Executive Mansion and it is my recol- I
lection that I specifically mentioned
the furnishing of meals, night lunches,
etc., for the more than nine servants
substantially quartered in the Man
sion, payment for which had, during
former administrations, been made
out of the general fund appropriated
to the. Board of Public Grounds and
Buildings, under paragraph in the
general appropriation bill authorizing
the superintendent of said Board to
pay all temporary help and for the
care, maintenance and preservation of
public grounds and buildings, includ
ing the Executive Mansion.
Auditor General's letter
"In that letter 1 said to him:—
"'I aTh assuming that you have
been maintaining the table and some
other incidental expenses of the
household of the Mansion out of your
private purse. 1 do not believe that
this was either within the intention of
the Legislature or is in keeping with
Jnl. c dignity the Commonwealth.
The Legislature specifically said that
the appropriation in question should
be spent, in your discretion and really
requires the filing of no vouchers on
your part, but since you have adopted
of vouching it the same
as all other appropriations 1 feel that
. t0 ™ ak ® a suggestion.
It is the duty of the Auditor Gen
eral to see that money is proDerlv
t, | as wc " s ll at none should be
pL^L.T I ?r operly ' 1 Would ' therefore,
rlcht tn t!! y i suggest that you have a
right to include among your vouchers
f ° r i he llec c s ary main
? bl ° and other inci
dental expenses of the household of
the mansion, which is substantially
the guest house of the Commonwealth
Executive CUPanCy 01 yoursclr as Chief
If I have intruded or made any
improper suggestion please be frank
to say so, but I felt it my duty for
the reasons above stated.'
~ 'l 1 , H0 ? no reason to change my posi
tion taken at that time, it j s not in
keeping with the dignity of the Com
monwealth and not conducive to good
government to have a man act as its
cnicf Executive and load him with
nine or ten servants, some of whom
° n '>" °r d 1 n,ght watchmen
about the building and expect him to
furnish heir meals. I had so stated
' previously to John K. Tcner. when he
was Governor, but because lie had
begun on that line and for the reason
that the appropriation was differently
worded during his administration and
for the further reason that many of
these expenses were taken care of by
the Superintendent of Public Grounds
and Buildings under the clause I have
above cited. Governor Tener did not
make the change.
Cheapening the State
"In my opinion it cheapens the Re
publican organization and the people
of the Commonwealth to raise objec
tion to the necessary expenses of the
maintenance of its Executive Mansion
out of the Treasury- of the Common
wealth, and not out of the private
pocket of a man unable to bear that
expense.
"Frankly, the chief difference is
that now they are accounted for out
of this fund when heretofore they had
been included in the bills passed bv
the Board of Public Grounds and
Buildings out of appropriations to the
Department of Public Grounds and
Buildings carried in the General Ap
propriation bill. Any careful exami
nation of the appropriation for 1915
to the Department of Public Grounds
and Buildings will show that a ma
jority of these expenses could have
been paid out of those appropriations
even In 1915, because in a majority
of the paragraphs the Executive Man
sion is specifically mentioned.
This State An Empire
"The Commonwealth of Pennsyl
vania last year had a revenue of $36,-
663,039,23, greater than that of ten
other States of the Union combined.
The people of the State ought to re
member tliat In reality It Is an empire
and not a cheap proposition. There
are many great, private corporations,
creatures of the Commonwealth, who
would pot think of limiting the ex-,
penses of their presidents as strictly
us would seem to be desired for the
Governor,
■'l cannot conclude this statement
without paying that ia reply to the
letter above quoted the Governor said
as follows}

A new thing
for a cigarette to do
IOTS of cigarettes may please your taste —that's all
J you've ever expected from a cigarette.
But here's a cigarette —Chesterfield—that, besides
pleasing the taste, does another thing, the one thing
you've always wished a cigarette would do —
\
Chesterfields just " touch the spot", they let you
know you are smoking —they "SATISFY"I
And yet, they're mild! Yes, mild.
Your first few puffs of a Chesterfield will tell you
that this is new enjoyment you're getting out of a \
cigarette—a cigarette that " satisfies" and yet is mild. s
It's the blend that does it—plus, of course, the
quality of the tobaccos. For never before have such
costly, high-quality Imported and Domestic tobaccos
been blended together in any cigarette at anywhere
near the price.
This new-to-the-world blend is a real achievement
brought about by the Skill and patience of some
of the world's most expert cigarette blenders. And
it can't be copied.
